Hi. I own a CB-L. I'm with stringreen, it tracks pretty much anything on any antiskate, setting but is awesome once dialled in.
Have you checked if the TT itself is level?
Cheers

Help - Scroeder CB-9" tonearm - anti-skating setting issue
Post removed |
richardkrebs is right, check to make sure everything is level including whatever the tonearm is mounted too. Next, it is possible for the magnet to get stuck. Back the screw all the way out and tap the vertical shaft of the tonearm lightly just above the base with the arm in it's rest. Use a blank record if you have one. The arm should skate inwards at least a little. If not you should contact Frank here

Thanks guys! I played with it last night a bit more, before reading these posts. No improvement, but the VTA, VTF (1.8g) is OK and the TT is level. Cannot confirm the overhang and azimuth as I could not have the arm not move to perform those. It tracks fine until about middle of the record. The arm is actually mounted on a 1968 Garrard 401 in a heavy DAS plinth, IsoAcoustic GAIA III feet. I had an Ortofon SA-309 12" for a while (now on my Garrard 301) without any issues, with 2-3 different cartridges. I will try again tonight after work your above advice. I had some contact with Frank as well as Ana Mighty Sound (where I got my Scroeder No2 arm) in the past so will try them if not successful. It is annoying as the sound is really lovely even with the current modest Marantz MA5 monoblocks/SC-7 preamp through SF Cremona Auditors... |
